It would certainly be almost paradise in a Coastal home, sitting back and viewing nature's spectacular shows.

Yes Tal there were many pictures and I may still have some in my archives. The Village Sun had a whole section devoted to the tornado and you might be able to access their archives. If you ride by my house I still have the entire section in the top drawer of the TV armoire. Stop by in April and we will share a coffee and peek at pictures

Muncle, I agree with you 100%. Have you ever seen the Aurora Borealis?

I have and was just mesmerized by it. I could not believe I was seeing it. It took me nearly 60 years to get to Alaska in the winter to see it, and it was well worth it.

It was warmer in Fairbanks Alaska then where I live in the lower 48 states.

V07 Thanks, I did not notice I arrived. I see that you are seven responses behind. Keep it up.

If you respond to this post, you will only need 6 more.

Thanks for the update.

I love lightning and rain and the louder the better , When it happens I watch it for hours through a little hole I have dug under my house ...
But I only did it to check for termites.........
